Description

Possibly the most dangerous word in the English language is Tomorrow. It implies that we have a choice to place would-be painful experiences into the uncontrollable abyss that we call the future. When we place our work, relationships, finances, and other responsibilities into the hands of tomorrow, we are failing to do the right things at the right time. God places these responsibilities in front of us so that we can act quickly and work diligently on them, and as a result, bringing glory to His name. As Christians, our problem is not that we don't know what is the right thing to do. In fact, we would probably never deliberately refuse to do the right thing if it was clearly presented to us. However, we put off what needs to be done today in hopes that the solution to our problem will manifest itself more comfortably down the road. The Bible teaches about spiritual procrastination in the areas of 1) habits, 2) work, 3) finances, and 4) joyful living. When we do not invest in these areas at the appropriate time, we are refusing to play our role in God's partnership with us. Where in your life are you saving things for tomorrow?
